"I grew up going to camp and Willowgrove feels like a second home to me. Everything about it makes me smile from the people I've gotten to know over the years to the kids that are always doing something funny. Camp always brightens my mood.

Day Camp

Thank you Willowgrove campers and staff for making the summer of 2016 such a great camp season. Registration for 2017 will open January 1st. Meanwhile, enjoy your camp memories and see you again next year!.

At Willowgrove, your children can enjoy a wonderful day camp on our 100-acre private site that blends nature, recreation and traditional camp activities for children ages 4 to 15 years! Your child will have enthusiastic counselors on a 1:5 ratio for children four to five years and a 1:7 ratio for all other ages. In addition, there are program specialists who will help ensure that your child experiences a camp program that will teach new skills and build self confidence in a fun and supportive environment.

The camp day starts at 9:00 am and finishes at 4 pm. Before care is available starting at 7:00 am and after care is available until 6:00 pm.

Red Cross group daily swimming lessons and a camp-t shirt are included in the camp fee.

A forest, a clean-flowing stream and pond, heated swimming pools, shady retreats, sports fields , barns, mountain biking trails, playgrounds and a wall climbing gym are just the beginning of their adventure. Every day at Willowgrove presents a new experience… they won’t want to go home!
